Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Moni
Moni is a small village on the lower slopes of a volcano, and it exists largely because of what lies above it. About thirteen kilometres up a winding road is Kelimutu, a peak of around 1,640 metres whose summit holds three crater lakes in different colours, one of them often turquoise, another green and the third dark red or brown. The colours change over the years, depending on gases and minerals, and no one has fully explained why. Local belief holds that the souls of the dead go to the lakes, the young to one, the old to another and those who lived evil lives to the third.
